Race Tips

Do not try to increase your pace until after the turn-around at mile 18. The climbs out of the three lagoons get harder on the last quarter of the race.

Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

Parking is still abundant in the mall parking lot 45 minutes before race time (start and finish)

Love this course. Very well organized and well run. Replenishment stations perfectly spaced and well staffed, maybe a tall flag so you know a station is coming up. Missed taking GU, because I didn't notice it coming up because of the hills.

Race Tips

Start slow and know there are a lot of rolling hills through out wit this out and back course. Beautiful coast run!

Logistical Tips (Hotels, Restaurants, Parking, Discounts, etc.)

Definitely arrive early. Traffic. But well directed. Just be patient.
